N2 - Material mobilities need post-disciplinary analysis, because they generate many of today’s ‘wicked problems’. The 2008 BBC programme Britain From Above provides a glimpse of this: a 24-hour bird’s-eye, time-lapse view of air traffic over Britain’s busy airports, 75 million Britons and visitors criss-crossing the country in cars and trains, ships traversing the channel, taxis coursing through London’s arteries. Ecology and climate sciences show that humanity is ‘burning the library of life’. The mobilities paradigm is, alongside many adjacent paradigms from actor network theory to feminist technoscience, underpinned by a realisation that ‘humans are nothing’ without their entanglements with other beings, objects, and materialities. The mobilities paradigm has helped drive a methodological paradigm shift that provides powerful resources.
